It’s 7:55pm HST, or 12:55am EST, and CNN currently has Bush ahead of Kerry 246-195. I don’t know why they haven’t called Ohio or New Hampshire yet, since both look fairly safe (Bush for Ohio, Kerry for New Hampshire). If things progress as they did in the 2000 elections I think that means that Kerry will win. Nothing seems to suggest that something out of the ordinary will happen, so maybe tomorrow when I wake up it’ll be in a Kerry USA. That’d be kind of nice.

I’ve just woken up here in the UK to a Ohio which has hanging chad, with 200,000 provisional votes that won’t be counted for 11 days, and the entire thing balanced on a knife edge but with Bush certain to win if he picks up Ohio. Deja vu.

Yeah, well, while I think the statistical chance that Kerry gets enough provisional ballots to win is 1-2%, I’m fine with him not conceding until the vote is clear. God forbid that he concede and the numbers go his way. That would be riotous.
